Strange man, says went into politics ‘coz he loves Australia or similar comment, yet he burns through money with ridiculous ideas like building dinosaurs and sunken ships. Can’t help but think if he cared that much, he may have spent some spare dollars on the country he loves so much.

Gina reckons lazy people should get a kick up the arse. That’s a pretty good idea IMO.

Thing is, he does spend quite a large amount philanthropically and with very little publicity.

The only ones publicised are the political donations, which are large. But universities, medical research, yadda yadda do well out of him as well I understand.

I’m very inclined to vote for either of the two political parties with “Australia” in its name.

Or even better, vote independent. Liberal and Labor are now both totally corrupt.

It’s good to get out, good to talk, meet old friends and maybe some new ones, get drunk, smell the bar stools, put the weights on your best friends wife, spew in the front lawn, piss all over the floor of the toilet. Parties are good.

I agree

I think the Republican movement should be expanded to include an overall of federal, state and local governments

reform on an ongoing basis maybe

after the republic vote, tackle the other issues, not all at once

brushing away the west minister party system and replacing it with all independents would be a breath of fresh air

and maybe polifact could become bigger, to really keep them honest

PolitiFact in the US seems to be doing a pretty good job. It’s just a matter of weighning up who you’d rather be lied to by.
